The STELLAR Doctoral Academy Board has selected Dade Nurjanah as the winner of the Excellence Award for the 2010 STELAR Doctoral Mobility Programme.
Dade, a PhD candidate at the University of Southampton, was hosted by Dr. Eelco Herder at the L3S research center (Hannover, Germany), where she performed research on the role of the teacher in adaptive TEL, thus connecting to the outcomes of GRAPPLE.

We bring here some words from Dade’s host, Dr. Eelco Herder:

“The most important reason for selecting Dade for the Doctoral Mobility
Award is the clearly visible progress she booked during her internship.
In the report she puts a clear focus on the role of the teacher in
(adaptive) TEL and analyzes several authoring tools and standards in
terms of functionality, usability, efficiency and interoperability. As
expressed by herself as well as her supervisor at the L3S, the Mobility
Programme helped her in finding new directions, contacts and resources.
Apart from this, her work strengthened the connections between Stellar
and Grapple by relating Grapple outcomes and work-in-progress to the
Stellar Grand Challenges. As a final point, we appreciate the concrete
plans for future work and dissemination, as expressed during the
interview.”
